Putin has been deceived, betrayed, demonized, and given the West’s cold shoulder for two decades, and he still wants to negotiate with those who have thrashed him?

People lie more than most people imagine. I learned that by being in the position of being responsible for everyone in the company. While you might have an exceptionally ethical group of people, in all organizations there are dishonest people who have to be dealt with in practical ways. For example, don't believe most people who are caught being dishonest when they say that they've seen the light and will never do it again because chances are they will. Dishonest people are dangerous, so keeping them around isn't smart.
At the same time, let's be practical. If I tried to limit my relationships to people who never lied, I'd have nobody to work with. While I have extremely high standards when it comes to integrity, I don't view it in a black-white, one-strike-and-you're-out way. I look at the severity, the circumstances, and the patterns to try to understand whether I am dealing with a person who is a habitual liar and will lie to me again, or with a person who is fundamentally honest yet imperfect. I consider the significance of the dishonesty itself (Was the person stealing a piece of cake or were they committing a felony?) as well as the nature of our existing relationship (Is it my spouse telling the lie, a casual acquaintance, or an employee?). Treating such cases differently is appropriate because a basic law of justice is that the punishment should fit the crime. -Ray Dalio

Elegance On The Beach
Restraint and grace of style
Grace, refinement, and beauty in movement, appearance, or manners
The beauty of an idea characterized by minimalism and intuitiveness while preserving exactness and precision
The quality of being pleasingly ingenious and simple; neatness
There are two things that are without limits: femininity and means to take advantage of it. -Nikita [1990]
